The most popular car in the history of car manufacture is the Volkswagen Beetle,originally called the Kdf wagen.The car was developed in Germany in the 1930sby Dr Ferdinand porsche.At that time, Germany had only half the number of cars of Britian and France,and Adolf Hitler took a persinal interest in the developmant of the volkswagen. The intention was to provide a new industry,new jobs,and a car so cheap that anyone in work could affford it.Dr.Porche designed a car that was cheap to build and run;its rear-mounted,air-cooled engine cut down the number of parts needed and also reduced weight.

RESEARCH suggests that a common heartburn medication with alcoholic beverages,can cause blood-alcohol levels to become dangerously high,even with light to moderate drinking.By interfering with the processes that break down alcohol,ranitidine,an acid-reducing drug used to treat ulcers and heartburn,can push bllod alcohol to levels that can impair driving in social drinkers.DOCTORS conclude that patients”treated with ranitidine should be warned of the possibility of developing unexpected functional impairment when drinking amounts of alcohol they might consider safe”.

FRESCO is a method of wall painting. In buon fresco, pigments are mixed with water and applied to an intonaco (layer of fresh, damp lime plaster). The intonaco absorbs and binds the pigments as it dries making the picture a permanent part of the wall surface. The intonaco is applied in sections called giornate. The size of each giornata depends on the artist estimate of how much can be painted before the plaster sets. The junctions between giornate are sometimes visible on a finished fresco. The range of colours used in buon fresco are limited to lime resistant pigments such as earth colours.

In the dark ages and early medieval times, the long ships of Scandinavia were one of the most feared sights for the people of northern Europe. The Vikings launched raids from Scandinavia every summer in long ships equipped with single steering oar on the right, or “steerboard”,side .A long ship had one row of oars on each side and single sail. The hull had clinker planks. Prowheads adorned fighting ships during campaigns of war. The sailing long ship was also used for local coastal travel. The karv below was probably built as transport for important family, while the smaller faering was a rowing boat only. The fleet of William of Normandy that invaded England in 1066 owed much to the Viking boatbuilding tradition, and has been depicted in the bayeux tapestry.

MONOPLANES have one wing on each side of the fuselage. The principal disadvantage of this arrangement in early, wooden-framed aircraft was that single wings were weak and required strong wires to brace them to king-posts above and below the fuselage. However, single wings also had advantages: they experienced less drag than multiple wings, allowing greater speed; they also made aircraft more manoeuvrable because single wings were easier to warp than double wings, and warping the wings was how the pilots controlled the roll of early aircraft.

The term TEMPERA is applied to any paint in which pigment is tempered(mixed) with a water-based binding medium- usually egg yolk. Egg tempera is applied to a smooth surface such as vellum or more commonly to hardwood panels prepared with gesso-a mixture of chalk and glue. Hog hair brushes are used to apply the gesso. A layer of gesso grosso is followed by successive layers of gesso sotile that are sanded between coats to provide a smooth, yet absorbent ground. The paint is applied with fine sable brushes in thin layers, using light brush strokes Tempera dries quickly to form a tough skin with a satin sheen.

American researchers have just unveiled a system of artificial vision that will enable the blind to see some objects .The “Dobelle Eye” consists of a micro-camera and an ultrasonic distance sensor installed on a pair of sunglasses and connected to a tiny computer strapped to the person’s waist. The images captured by Dobelle Eye are processed and then sent to electrodes implanted in the brain’s cortex surface-the region responsible for vision. When produce light sensations that form a limited visual field. According to the scientists at the Dobelle Institute in New York, it is possible to further perfect this revolutionary system of assisted vision.

1. (Walk up behind girl and point fingers shaped like gun into her

Its face –tall as an elephant! Its huge eyes are wide open. On top of it wears a strange kind of helmet and the whole thing is carved on a single piece of stone. There are atleast fifteen of these huge heads. They were found buried in the jungles of Mexico. In the same are of the big statues in the shapes of jaguars and snakes. These carvings are almost all that is left of some great people we call the OLMECS. They lived between 2000 and 3000 years ago. The Olmecs knew nothing of the wheel. They couldn’t use metals. They didn’t read or write but at the same time, all these things were known about across the world in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Thousands of kilometers of ocean separated these civilizations from the Olmecs.

Quitting allows the body to make genetic repairs that may prevent cellular mutations The Legacy of teenage smoking can linger long after the smoke has cleared. Examining pulmonary tissue from 143 lung-cancer patients, researchers found that after adjusting for variables such as current smoking status and number of cigarettes smoked, people with the worst DNA damage weren’t necessarily those who’d smoked the longest but those who began smoking at the youngest age. Quitting allows the body to make genetic repairs that may prevent cellular mutations. Smoking while the lungs are still developing appears to permanently hamper normal cell repair. If you smoked in your “immortal” years, let your doctor know. And report any chest or lung troubles as soon as they occur.
